Cambodia Asks UN Secretary General to be Coordinator for Border Issues with Thailand
Thursday, 12 August 2010 03:07 DAP NEWS / Vibol .CAMBODIA, PHNOM PENH, AUGUST 12, 2010-Cambodian PM Hun Sen on Thursday said that he asked the Secretary General UN Ban to play the role as coordinator for border issues with Thailand.
Secretary General Ban will visit Cambodia 27-28 October this year, PM Hun Sen told the hundreds of participants of Tonle Sap Conversation meeting in Phnom Penh.
It is very ridiculous that Thailand accused Cambodia of invading and using forces. Thailand is threatening forces to invade Cambodia’s territory and take Cambodian soil, PM Hun Sen noted.
The bilateral border talks will resume unless Thai National assembly approved the border agreement in past years that border committee for the two countries had agreed. We will lose time for the talks, Pm Hun Sen added.
He also appealed to Thai Media to consider about their stories after Thai PM Abhisit said Thai Media misquoted him. Thai Media reported correctly but Thai PM always refused about his words on border issues on Thai media.
Thailand turns face to talks bilaterally with Cambodia on Border issues

Thailand has started to turn face to continue bilateral talks on relationship and border issue after Cambodian PM Hun Sen sent a letter to president of UN General Assembly and President of Security Council of UN earlier this week.
Now Thailand told UN that it will resume bilateral talks based on MoU 2000 with Cambodia and the MoU is still effective. Koy Khoung, spokesman of foreign ministry of Cambodia said that the words of Thai PM in the letter to UN are groundless and tricky.
Cambodia has never had buffer zone with Thailand including 4.6square km as mention by Thai PM, Koy said, adding that that land is Khmer sovereignty. Cambodians has lived there before MoU signed.
Thailand is trying to resume talks bilaterally, “the analyst said, adding that Thai government has tried to play words and cheated its people through using secret map in 1976 with claiming that 4.6 square km as its sovereignty to make Thais confuse in its history.
Thai troops invaded Cambodia in July 15, 2008 at area near Preah Vihear temple. Latest development, Thailand has opposed the management plan of 11th Khmer Preah Vihear temple in a meeting in Brazil. Actually, the management plan already accepted by the world heritage center and next year, all sides will meet in Bahrain.
Cambodia plans to host the world heritage committee in 2013 in Phnom Penh or in Siem Reap. Currently, Cambodia is a permanent member of world heritage committee of UNESCO.
Thai troops fired on market and burned the market at the armed clash in 2009.
